  1. Click the Data Layers icon in the left navigation bar.

  2. The Layers panel displays a list of existing layers and the name of the dataset the layers belong to (Sample Trip Data, in the example below). To create a new layer, click Add Layer at the bottom of the menu.

  3. If your map contains multiple datasets, you’ll be asked to select the data source for your new layer.

  4. Select a layer type. Read about the different [types of layers].

  5. Fill in the required columns and adjust the optional settings if desired.

  6. Collapse the layer settings menu when finished.
